Estrogen receptor α emerged as a well validated therapeutic target of breast cancer for decades. However, approximately 50% of patients who initially responding to standard-of-care (SoC), such as undergo therapy of Tamoxifen, generally inevitably progress to an endocrine-resistance ER+ phenotype. Recently, selective estrogen receptor covalent antagonists (SERCAs) targeted to ERα have been demonstrated as a therapeutic alternative. In the present study, series of novel 6-OH-benzothiophene (BT) derivatives targeting ERα and deriving from Raloxifene were designed, synthesized, and biologically evaluated as covalent antagonists. Driven by the antiproliferative efficacy in ER+ breast cancer cells, our chemical optimization finally led to compound 19d that with potent antagonistic activity in ER+ tumor cells while without agonistic activity in endometrial cells. Moreover, the docking simulation was carried out to elucidate the binding mode, revealing 19d as an antagonist and covalently binding to the cysteine residue at the 530 position of ER helix H11.

Many clinically used agents active in cancer chemotherapy exert their activity through the induction of cell death (apoptosis) by targeting microtubules, altering protein function or inhibiting DNA synthesis. The benzo[b]thiophene scaffold holds a pivotal place as a pharmacophore for the development of anticancer agents, and, in addition, this scaffold has many pharmacological activities. We have developed a flexible method for the construction of a new series of 2-aryl-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyanilino)-6-methoxybenzo[b]thiophenes as potent antiproliferative agents, giving access to a wide range of substitution patterns at the 2-position of the 6-methoxybenzo[b]thiophene common intermediate. In the present study, all the synthesized compounds retained the 3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyanilino)-6-methoxybenzo[b]thiophene moiety, and the structure–activity relationship was examined by modification of the aryl group at its 2-position with electron-withdrawing (F) or electron-releasing (alkyl and alkoxy) groups. We found that small substituents, such as fluorine or methyl, could be placed in the para-position of the 2-phenyl ring, and these modifications only slightly reduced antiproliferative activity relative to the unsubstituted 2-phenyl analogue. Compounds 3a and 3b, bearing the phenyl and para-fluorophenyl at the 2-position of the 6-methoxybenzo[b]thiophene nucleus, respectively, exhibited the greatest antiproliferative activity among the tested compounds. The treatment of both Caco2 (not metastatic) and HCT-116 (metastatic) colon carcinoma cells with 3a or 3b triggered a significant induction of apoptosis as demonstrated by the increased expression of cleaved-poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), receptor-interacting protein (RIP) and caspase-3 proteins. The same effect was not observed with non-transformed colon 841 CoN cells. A potential additional effect during mitosis for 3a in metastatic cells and for 3b in non-metastatic cells was also observed.

A method for the Bronsted acid promoted desulfination of aryl sulfoxides is presented. In the presence of a thiol, electron-rich sulfoxides undergo C-S bond cleavage to give the corresponding protodesulfinated arenes and disulfides.

An Ag-catalyzed cyclization/demethylation of 2-alkynylthio(seleno)anisoles and 2-alkynyldimethylanilines is described and applied for the construction of valuable benzothio(seleno)phenes as well as indoles. Various 2-substituted benzothio(seleno)phenes and indoles were obtained in good to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions with low catalyst loading. An application of this new method is also exemplified with a concise synthesis of a bioactive molecule precursor. Furthermore, a conceivable reaction mechanism is proposed with supports from isotope-exchange experiments.

The present disclosure relates to compounds that act as antagonists via binding to the ER ligand binding domain non-covalently or covalently, or act as both antagonists and ER protein degraders, and the synthesis of the same. Further, the present disclosure teaches the utilization of such compounds in a treatment for proliferative diseases, including cancer, particularly breast cancer, and especially ER+ breast cancer.

, p. 13983 - 13996 (2020/11/20)
A series of palladium N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes of type trans-{(NHC)PdCl2L} (L = C5H5N, 3-ClC5H4N, and PPh3) (3-5) have been developed as efficient precatalysts for direct C-H bond arylation of various heteroarenes. In particular, an in situ generated new NHC ligand derived from {1,3-di-(2,6-diethylphenyl)acenaphtho[1,2-d] imidazolium} chloride (2) is used for the stabilization of the palladium metal center. Among the screened palladium precatalysts (3-5), the most active PEPPSI themed complex (3) was successfully employed toward direct C-H bond arylation of various heteroarenes and aryl bromides. A range of functional groups on aryl bromides as well as on heteroarenes sustained throughout the standard reaction conditions for easy access of various arylated heterocyclic compounds. Significantly, the utility of the protocol was demonstrated by the effective synthesis of a precursor of raloxifene, a selective estrogen receptor modulator.

A nickel-based catalytic system for the regiospecific C2-H arylation of benzothiophene has been established. NiCl2(bpy) is used as a catalyst in combination with LiHMDS as a base in dioxane. The catalytic system is applicable to a variety of functionalized benzothiophenes, as well as other heteroarenes including thiophene, benzodithiophene, benzofuran and selenophene in combination with iodo aryl electrophiles. The role of LiHMDS as a uniquely potent base and a postulated mechanism are discussed. The applicability of this system is finally demonstrated for the synthesis of an intermediate of an active pharmaceutical ingredient.

The synthesis of a diverse range of heterobiaryls has been achieved by a transition-metal-free sp2–sp2 cross-coupling strategy using lithiated heterocycle, aryl or heteroaryl boronic ester and an electrophilic halogen source. The construction of heterobiaryls was carried out through electrophilic activation of the aryl–heteroaryl boronate complex, which triggered 1,2-migration from boron to the carbon atom. Subsequent oxidation of the intermediate boronic ester afforded heterobiaryls in good yield. A comprehensive 11B NMR study has been conducted to support the mechanism. The cross coupling between two nucleophilic cross coupling partners without transition metals reveals a reliable manifold to procure heterobiaryls in good yields. Various heterocycles like furan, thiophene, benzofuran, benzothiophene, and indole are well tolerated. Finally, we have successfully demonstrated the gram scale synthesis of the intermediates for an anticancer drug and OLED material using our methodology.

An intermolecular radical cascade reaction between readily prepared o-methylthio-arylamines or o-methylselanyl-arylamines and alkynes for the preparation of valuable benzothiophenes or benzoselenophenes is reported. These transformations occur efficiently with complete regioselectivity and the products are obtained in moderate to good yields. The current protocol is successfully applied to the synthesis of the key intermediates of the drug raloxifene and an AT1receptor antagonist.
